Every week, teams of evangelists, Bible
teachers and church planters leave from here on their motorbikes and travel to
many, many outreaches and church plants where we are evangelizing, teaching the
Word and discipling and training new Bible teachers so we can continue to
further our outreach amongst the Tala Andig and Higaunon peoples.
Teams like the group here in this
picture (photo taken at Lantod).
These teams are amongst God’s elite
evangelists - you would have to search a long time in this world to come across
many teams as dedicated as these men and as skilled in spreading the Gospel!
Rain hail or shine, they leave each week as they have been doing for the past
10 years or so. Our hearts, when we see these faithful servants of our Lord
Jesus.....well, the feeling we have is indescribable!!!!
2012 has been a year with many, many
trials, hardships, attacks from Satan and discouragements but with this has
come HUGE ADVANCEMENTS FOR THE GOSPEL!!!!!
So, let us share with you some
statistics of what God has been doing through us and you and our Tala Andig and
Higaunon brethren as we have all partnered together as a team this 2012. Thanks
so, so much for partnering with us this year in prayer, financial support and
encouragement.
